Smoother ride over bumpy roads

Installation didn't take long. I drove home about 250 miles after installing it and you can definitely feel the difference: a smoother and less jerky ride when hitting bumps.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Basically OK, but...

Good product - tools and hardware

Received my EQs in 2 days and installed same day they arrived, easy installation and so far the product is exactly as described by the manufacturer. weekend to see if I can tell the difference in towing

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Good but not great

So far everything is fine with tools and equipment

Originally it was "minus 5 on a rating scale of 1 to 5 stars". Based on receiving one new and one obviously used and/or previously installed equalizer. Great no-fuss, no-hassle returns process! Good job, Revain. The equalizers look much better than the originals shown in the attached photos. Confused by the "installation" hardware mentioned on the shopping list. No devices other than those pictured are included. More will follow after installation and road testing.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Doesn't matter! - Tools and Equipment

I have a 6500lb 2 axle RV. It came with a standard Y EQ and plastic jacks. Attached Lippert Equa-Flex with new bronze bushing and wet bolt kit. The installation took about 4 hours. The hardest part was removing the old bolts from the hangars and then putting in the new bronze bushings. The Equa-Flex comes with cheap plastic bushings and honestly you'd have to be an idiot to go to all the trouble of paying for them. Equa-Flex upgrade, no bushings. That's where the original plastic bushings on my

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some problems

Misrepresented by Lippert

I ordered these from Lippert Never Fail Bushings a year ago and installed them on a trailer we no longer own. Very smooth installation, we were very happy with them. I thought I'd do the same for our new trailer, only to find out (after much disappointment) that they've changed the specs and no longer support never-fail hubs. I've called Lippert several times to find out why I can't get these screws through the Never Fail hub (after installation) and have been told several different solutions…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Minor issues

Big improvement in towing but big installation job for this handyman

I installed an Equa-flex 4k-6k along with a MorRyde Wet Bolt shackle upgrade kit on my Outback 27RLS (8K GVWR) caravan. It was the right kit for my tandem axles, each weighing 5K. Now that it's done, I'm pleased with the trailer's improved ride quality, which is much better than the stock Leveler direct suspension. I installed it myself in my driveway, one side each with two stands, a bottle jack to jack up the frame for the stands, and two bottle jacks for the axles. Installation was quite a…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Reliability
